Abstract

n response to the changing reality from the late 16th century onwards, the Ottoman authorities undertook a series of actions to reform main sectors of the imperial economy and society. One of the changes that took place during the 17th century affected the survey (tahrir) system. During this period, several campaigns were undertaken for registration of the residents and their landholdings in the settlements of various regions in the Ottoman Balkans. It was as a result of these new survey campaigns that the defters of 21 villages, two separate mezraas and two müsellem çift liks near Edirne were compiled. These defters are kept at the Oriental Department of the National Library in Sofia.Even though this type of land surveys never became established practice in the Ottoman administration and remained incidental campaigns of a limited regional scope, they represent a source of invaluable knowledge about the land and landholders. This paper presents the content and dating of the above-mentioned documents. Based on the information in the documents, the paper draws several conclusions regarding the structure of the agrarian and social space in the village territories and rural communities.
